Yes we should never forget. My Dad fought in WWII on board a Destroyer and a Destroyer Escort and My Grandfather a Sargent in WWI.

I dont know how the US works regards senior citizens and Vetrans in particular. In the UK its pretty appaling. My main point was that we need to watch out for these people.

Compared to most of those who have gone before me, my combat experience has been a piece of cake. My highest gratitude to those who have lost their lives, those who have combat wounds, and ALL those who have valiantly served in our military to give us the freedoms that we enjoy.

In the grand scheme of things, my job is just to make sure that the little red button works as advertised and makes the bad guy go boom when it gets pushed. An extremely minor contribution in comparison to the heroes of the past. I'm humbled and honored when people consider me worthy of being counted among them.



But still, if that little red button doesn't work, then what? It's not quite so minor as you think, is it?
